This Sunday sermon discusses the history and purpose of Holy Grounds. It explains that while True Father did not establish the first Holy Ground until 1965, he envisioned creating sacred sites to comfort God's heart starting in 1963. The sermon outlines True Father's process of establishing 39 Holy Grounds around the world in 1965 and important sites in Korea like Chung Pyung Holy Ground. It encourages members to pray at Holy Grounds to support the spiritual work of resurrecting spirits and building God's kingdom. The sermon closes by framing all people as "moving Holy Grounds" and looking forward to the May 2023 event to continue preparations.

History
Although True Father himself did not establish a Holy Ground
until 1965, on January 1, 1963, he wrote the words
“Holy Ground” in Chinese characters, and shared with those
present his determination and plan to reclaim God’s lands
symbolically first through Holy Grounds, and later by restoring
the homeland.

7. Establishment of Holy Grounds by True Father
From January 28, 1965 through October 10, 1965,
True Father made Holy Grounds in 39 nations.
(not Finland by mistakingly being advised it was Communist)
He returned to Korea and created Holy Grounds in each
regional district before establishing the last seven (main)
Holy Grounds in Seoul,including the one in
Chungpadong Church.

8. Caring for and Using Holy Grounds
True Father has often emphasized that members
should pray at Holy Grounds as often as possible.
In Korea, Pledge services, daily morning prayers,
or all-night prayer vigils are often held
at Holy Ground.
The atmosphere at a Holy Ground is sacred.
When we pray at a Holy Ground, our prayers relate to the
historical foundation of comforting God’s heart through
reclaiming His land. Because of this, prayers offered at
Holy Ground have a greater effect.

True Father purchased a sloping mulberry field site in
the Chung Pyung Lake area, and by his making the first

work started.
With the completion of the chapel on 12 July 1971,
the Chung Pyung Holy Ground began its service as
a full-scale Holy Ground.

18. True Father's Prayer In Chung Pyung
You have loved this place of Chung Pyung and made it the
way it is now.
It is an area that you have sanctified through Your offerings.
It is a place intermingled with tears of sincerity where all the
nature binds us closer to You.
People from all over the world come here to search for You
with team.
I sincerely hope and pray that You may guide this gathering
to become a moment to implant tradition in us and a moment
that enables us to appreciate You with an earnest appeal.

19. Thinking that this is the place where the future Kingdom
of Heaven is being revived and where our future happy
homes are being built, we know we have to go on.
Exhausted, we have to pull ourselves together and go on.
Please, inspire vigor into our listless eyes. Taking a view
beyond a far away mountain, we have to go on.
Let us not become sons and daughters that simply
follow the footprints You have left behind, but let us
become people that struggle to take the lead in treading
on the thorny path.
/SMM 1971
